Academics
-
St. Isaac Jogues follows the course of academic instruction prescribed by the Catholic Schools Office of the Diocese of Joliet. Methods of instruction include individual focus, small groups and total class involvement, at the teacher’s discretion, based on subject matter. In this way we can employ the most effective methods – as needed – for the intellectual, emotional and social advancement of all our students.
"We educate the whole child – in partnership with you."
At St. Isaac's we think about the student we want to walk out of our building as a graduate, having completed their education at SIJ, and the values and character that child might have. In doing so, we strive to educate the whole child, beyond just a typical education. By seeking to educate the whole child, we ensure that all St. Isaac's students are healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. By embedding our Catholic values into our curriculum, we are able to meet the whole needs of our students and to help form followers of Christ who are well-prepared for the challenges, both academic and non-academic, that await them in life.
In addition to the study of our Catholic faith, St. Isaac Jogues’ core curriculum includes art, computer education, information skills, language arts, mathematics, music, physical education, reading, science and social studies. Foreign language study is included for grades 3-8.
